Dirty Duck in Ubud Bali (Bebek Bengil)

Bebek Bengil Restaurant

Wonder what “Dirty Duck” in Ubud Bali is? For tourists who are visiting the beautiful island of Indonesia, Bali, should not miss to eat “Dirty Duck”. “Dirty Duck” (famously known as “Bebek Bengil”) is actually a restaurant name in Ubud, Bali. It is very well-known for its crispy fried duck served with Indonesian vegetables and delicate sambal (chili). How does “Bebek Bengil” taste? Tasty, yummy, crispy, delicious and mouth-watering! Well at least that’s the comments from our people who recently visited Bali and tried the food.

Many said “Bebek Bengil” actually came from a secret family recipe, but they eventually shared it. The mystery behind the crispiness of the ducks is that they are marinated for 36 long hours in Indonesian herbs and spices including bay leaves, lime, ginger, galangal, coriander. Why take such long 36 hours? Well, that’s part of the secrets. Bebek BengilOnce marinated, they are steamed and then deep-fried in palm oil to get the crispy touch, then voila! The famous Bebek Bengil crispy duck is born.

Bebek Bengil restaurant offers the option to dine on balai-balai, which is the raised wooden sitting platforms available around the restaurant. Sitting and eating on one of these raised floor platforms is often called “lesehan” style. If you want to do this, you probably should reserve one of these platforms beforehand. Eating in one of these platforms/gazebos, surrounded by rice fields and a marvelous garden, will indeed elevate your appetite.

Lesehan At Dirty Duck

With shoes and sandals off, sitting on the platform lesehan style with pillows, just shooting the evening breeze while staring at the verdant rice paddies, the ambience and atmosphere are certainly hard to beat. Our plate of crispy fried duck and rice finally came, to be eaten with our fingers. Under the deliciously crispy duck skin was lean, but tender and full of flavours duck meat. This was served with some nice flavoured urap made with green beans. Perfect! When it comes to price, we have sort of expected it would be heftily priced by the Indonesian standards, but then again it is Bali and one always pays for the great food and ambience.

Clean Your White Kitchen

White Kitchen Interior 1

Do want to a fresh clean kitchen? White colour will certainly make it look nice and clean but …

In an easily dirty area, such as kitchen, many people often get frustrated and avoid the use of white colour. The reason is that white color can be easily stained by dirt, dust and even food splashes, often created in a kitchen.

Keeping white-coloured kitchen clean is certainly not a difficult case. It’s just that we need extra work to quickly clean the dirt and stain created. Dirt that is left for too long will make it more difficult to clean and ultimately leave permanent stain marks in kitchen which is clean white.

Of course regular cleaning is not only for white dominant coloured kitchen. Kitchen, whatever colour it is, should be maintained clean. But if you want to use white as the main colour, then consider the type of finishing materials. For table top, you can choose to use solid white surface. Synthetic material is one good candidate as it does not have pores: it is unlikely that stains will get absorbed into the material and damage the table top display.

White Kitchen Interior 2

Besides table top, the choice of kitchen cabinet finishing and the paint colour of kitchen walls are also important. Choose finishing materials that are easy to clean. For cabinet, melaminto finishing can be selected. The walls can be painted with stain-resistant acrylic material: if there is a splash of oil, soy sauce, or ketchup, it can easily be cleaned without leaving a stain on the kitchen set.
